The History of Zeniff and His People

Church Educational System

The book of Mosiah is often confusing because of the different storylines and historical flashbacks that are part of the book (refer to the chart “Flashbacks from Omni through Mosiah” in the appendix, page 413). The history contained in Mosiah chapters 9–22 flashes back approximately 80 years to the time when Zeniff and a small band of followers left the land of Zarahemla to return to the land of Nephi. The record contains the history of Kings Zeniff, Noah, and Limhi. The flashback narrative takes the reader back to the Book of Mormon history as Zeniff’s group is reunited with the people of Zarahemla in Mosiah 25.
